My take on the entire thing at this point....

1. I am not one who is FOR torture, however, I think the days and years after 9/11 were unique and I also think this war is unique. I also would rather have my fellow americans alive and be critqued for harsh treatment than to have my fellow americans DEAD and be lauded as a wonderful country because we treated the killers in a kind way.

2. Not surprisingly, to me anyway, the administration has set the wheels in motion to "get the previous administration" and allow the President to "stay above the fray", which is so typical of what he does so adeptly and has done his entire career.

3. In reading the NY Times today on this subject, it was amazing how NO Democrats on the intelligence committe could recall, while hearing ABOUT the measures, ever being told they were actually being used.

4. As the current administration and congress goes about revenge, I do hope they remember my item #1. While they LEFT OUT OF THE RELEASED memos that very point, I hope the need for revenge of some sort does not out weigh everything else.

5. We are about to, if we stay on this path, witness each and every change of party in the WH and Congress have precedent to go back and get people from the previous administration.

All proof that nothing changes....same as usual in Wash Dc
